A team of volunteers recently joined three International Mission Board missionaries and 44 Mexican Baptists to take the “light of Jesus” to many Mexican families by distributing 3,650 Gospels according to Matthew (or) John to their homes.
How did this team from Enterprise Baptist Church in Littleton, N.C., arrive at the decision to choose Guadalajara? First, they began with prayer. Second, a missionary and member of their church alerted the team to the fact that Mexico has only 3% evangelicals. This persuaded the members to explore into options to serve in Mexico.
As the team leader and missionary from their church began to search into mission opportunities, the name Jerri Younkman kept surfacing. Jerri is a missionary with the International Mission Board and lives in Guadalajara. She is the Operation GO Mexico Coordinator. Because of the Lord’s clear directions, the team knew He was leading them to Mexico to serve Him.
Carla Little, the team leader, writes:
“The awesome experience here was that the nationals from the church that sponsored us were with us every step of the way. When the two days were over, they wanted to know where they could buy more gospels so they could continue on their own what the team members had started. Not only did the adults go out and knock on doors, but also so did the children. The children would excitedly go to the door, tell the people where their church was, and tell them about Jesus and the gospel. They were an inspiration to all of us. Acts 1:8 was so exemplified here because the nationals were in their Jerusalem and we had gone to the ends of the earth.”
The volunteers plan to return next summer to work in the Santa Cruz de Las Flores area.
“I was never afraid, for the Lord was with me…it was an awesome experience,” replied one team member.
Jerri Younkman shares,
“One street, “Reál Oriente,” seemed to have an unusual amount of ripe fruit, and this was attributed to answers to prayer from the U.S. prayer warriors supporting the team. Prayer before and during the trip, are all contributing factors for the success of this team. God’s light now shines in many areas where darkness prevailed because five members of Enterprise Baptist Church said “Yes, God, send me!”
Come and be part of God’s work in our region. It will change your life forever!
